Sue shares a personal story about feeling overwhelmed and the challenges of balancing multiple responsibilities as an entrepreneur. She recounts a frustrating morning where even the simple task of making coffee seemed to go wrong, adding to her stress.
Sue also discusses the concept of hustle culture and the importance of rest and recharge for productivity and mental health, stressing the need for clarity on goals and avoiding distractions that can derail progress.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Rest and recharge are essential for productivity and mental health. Taking time off from work and completely disconnecting can lead to better focus and creativity.
Avoid getting overwhelmed by distractions and shiny objects. Stay focused on your major goals and prioritize tasks that align with them.
Clarify your three major goals in life and identify the one task that, if achieved, will make the biggest difference in your life.
Avoid merging work and personal life. Create boundaries and detach from work during rest time to improve effectiveness and productivity.
BEST MOMENTS
"Rest, reflection, time out, complete disconnect from work, vital for effectiveness, mental and physical health, not to mention your stamina in entrepreneurial pursuits."
"Sometimes those distractions take away from our main goals, the clarity on what our goals are because you start to drift into other directions."
"What is the one right task that will make everything faster, everything easier, everything better?"
"It's knowing which ones apply to your goals and which ones are simply providing noise and filling up space."

I’m a successful career mum turned entrepreneur (soon to be author..) and speaker.
I was one of a few corporate women in tech who was successful to reach a level before hitting my head firmlyon the glass ceiling. All while I was constantly having to choose between my kids and my career. I was burnt out, overwhelmed and unfulfilled.
I wasn’t living, I was surviving and this outdated corporate career path wasn’t serving anyone.
I took everything I learnt about systems, data and technology and created my first online business empowering leaders through training, webinars and coaching. Before finally accepting my calling to help others escape the outdated 9-5 and create a business that works for their life. Leveraging mindset and technology.
